    Scout has been quiet lately

    It seems that Scout has gone silent lately, no update on the production facility and nothing new has been posted in any news channels. I'm pretty certain the down turn in EV sales and the elimination of EV credits is being closely monitored by Scout, not to mention various state governments...

    Share memories of your original old Scouts

    Learned to drive in a Scout II, had many good times in High School and early years in the Navy. Wheeled all over the country as I was transferred to different duty stations, but eventually parts became hard to find and operating costs were more than a junior sailor could afford and I sold it in...

    Question for EV owners: anyone own one long term? Battery degradation?

Cost for the new battery (Ford purchased) was 24K with labor and associated battery harnesses. The car values between 8K...

    Off-road capabilities

    "sense of humor and a warm heart" Guess your signature doesn't apply to yourself? Interesting you continue to make assumptions about my experience and make personal attacks, but yeah I'm the one who's ignorant.

    Off-road capabilities

    Are you talking trailer queens or street driven vehicle here? For vehicles trailered to a trail/event I wholeheartedly agree. Pretty sure that most Scouts will be driven on the street. Whole different experience trailering to a run, than having to drive there and back. IF you need beadlocks...

    Off-road capabilities

    Central air systems are so cool at the Coffee and Cars events. Unless I'm being shot at or in an NBC environment I really don't need a central air inflation system, especially considering the added cost and complexity of the systems. Many of the new off road capable offerings from automotive...
